After the terrible earthquake that accompanied the tsunami in Aceh Andaman 26 December 2004, then a few months later the terrible earthquake in Nias, the seismic energy still surrounds this Sumatran subduction zone. Have not lost our memory of disaster a few years ago, turn Bengkulu on 12 September 2007 were then hit by earthquakes are quite terrible anyway. Is this the last one? turns out according to the researchers this is not over. Earthquake potential of the results of scientific evidence can still occur around the Mentawai segment Pagai, but unfortunately we probably will not know exactly when an earthquake will come.

Seeing this potential, Professor John McClosky from the University of Ulster Northern Ireland which included one of the world’s earthquakes of researchers that are reliable, also intervened come to Bengkulu and surrounding areas to conduct research into the potential earthquake.
